Dear all, I've bought this seiko watch for my gf but now I need to adjust the size of the bracelet, but I don't know how!

This is the first time that I see this kind of watch band. Someone know how to?

Try to push anything pm the bracelet but no way to remove links... Here are more detailed photos

Raddave has it. There is a special pair of pliers made to remove those links. They have a flat nose on one side and a point on the other. The point goes in the hole and the flat rests on the side of the bracelet above the little slide out clip. A pair should cost you less than 15 bucks.

Good replies....Find a tool, push the inside of the link out per the arrow....Put it back. Brilliant really. I have several Seiko's that I learned this for.

Yup, far better and stronger than the silly little split pins found on other cheaper gens.

But these links gather dirt and dust too easily and eventually jamming them. Stinks after some time too unless you wash them.

Yeah keeping them clean is a wonderful idea, I tend to wash and clean mine the same time I brush my teeth. Obviously not with the same brush lol!

You could use the same brush, just do your teeth first !
